It's a long road When you're on your own And it hurts when They tear your dreams apart And every new town Just seems to bring you down Trying to find peace of mind Can break your heart It's a real war Right outside your front door I tell ya Out where they'll kill ya You could use a friend Where the road is That's the place for me Where I'm me in my own space Where I'm free that's the place I wanna be 'Cause the road is long yeah Each step is only the beginning No breaks just heartaches Oh man is anybody winning It's a long road And it's hard as hell Tell me what do you do To survive When they draw first blood That's just the start of it Day and night you gotta fight To keep alive It's a long road ...
